This is probably an incredibly bad sign, but I am almost sick with excitement to hear Iggy Pop’s new album Préliminaires. It’s allegedly New Orleans jazz-tinged, heavy on the crooning, replete with a track sung in French (the record’s impetus lie in a book by French novelist Michel Houellebecq).
Granted, 1999’s Avenue B was similarly labeled as having jazz inflections, and it was a pretty lame record. But it was bogged down with all those lackluster spoken word bits (for Iggy’s best spoken word, Zombie Birdhouse is a slice of delectable lunacy, and the final tracks on both American Caesar and Beat ‘Em Up are hilariously brilliant). This new one holds a lot more promise for me, especially upon reading this article.
LiveJournal is behaving like a total cocksucker at the moment...
